Confused By Love

Chapter 4 : Saved

3 Days Later

Odd's Pov

I just sit on my bed, it's 5:30 in the morning it's almost time for school. I couldn't even sleep last night, it's been three days since me and Aelita had talked about what happened that night in her room. I want to talk to her, but every time I do she just walks away before I can say a word. I feel bad, I really do, but what am I suppose to do, I just did what I thought was best for me, but I guess for Aelita it's not what's best for her. When I told her there could be nothing between us, she was devastated, heartbroken, like her whole world was crumbled. I said I didn't love her, out of all the lies I have made that was the biggest one I said. The truth is I love her, I won't deny it now, I should of told her the truth instead hurting her like I did. I guess it's true what they say about me, I truely am an idiot. I don't think I can live with myself if I don't tell her the truth, she's already depressed as it is. When she found out about Jeremie dating another girl behind her back and breaking up with her in the process, that hurt her deeply, and me telling her lies, pushing her away from me, denying her love, I may have dug her a deeper hole of hopelessness. I don't know what to do,but I can't live my life knowing what could of been, I finally found a girl that loves me and I push her away, but now I have to make things right, I have to tell her, I may be risking our friendship, but when you love someone deeply, its worth the risk.

Aelita's Pov

I can't believe Odd said that to me, he doesn't love me, I'm just another girl he kissed, how could he say that. I enjoyed that kiss, I felt something from it I know it's love. I may not know much about love but I do know I want to be with him, I enjoy his company, feeling his body heat. Being close to him kills all my pain and misery. I love him, I know I do, why can't he love me back?. I guess I was foolish to think that someone could love me, maybe I was meant to be alone, never to have life's greatests pleasures. Once Jeremie finds the anti-virus, I will no longer be linked to Lyoko. The only question is what real life do I have? I have no family, the one thing I have been denied of, I know my friends care for me and love me like family, but I still feel empty inside, something is still missing, and that one thing missing in my life is Odd. I know he cares for me and I appreciate that, but it's not enough for me. When I finally find true love, fate takes it right away from me, the one thing I cherish most is taken from my grasp. Without love whats the point of living, maybe if I just ended my life I can be free from my pain. Maybe it's best for everyone, after all I'm just a computer program, I was made not born, therefore, I have no right to live. When the war with Xana is over, I am no longer needed.

End of Pov

At breakfast everything was silent at the table, except Ulrich and Yumi talking about the dance which is tonight. Odd was just sitting, poking at his food, he hasn't ate much in three days and the gang had started taking notice.

"Are you okay Odd, you haven't even ate anything yet," Yumi said getting his attention. She noticed how depressed he looked and it scared her cause Odd was always happy and goofy and always had something to say, but the last few days have been a different turn of events.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Odd replied back not even looking at his friends. He didn't want to talk and it showed. Yumi looked at Aelita who had almost the same expression as Odd, she never even looked at her or the others. She knew that something happened between them.

"Are you okay Aelita, Yumi said looking her hoping she would respond. Yumi noticed tears in her eyes, now she knows something happened.

"I'm fine, I have to go, I'll see you all later," Aelita muttered trying to disguise the pain in her voice, but Yumi noticed it she knew her friend to well.

Odd watched her leave the cafeteria, looking down in shame, he was the cause of her sadness, now he feels lower than dirt.

"Do you know what's wrong with her Odd, you two have gotten pretty close the last few weeks," Yumi asked Odd trying to get something out of him.

After several seconds without responding he finally spoke. "Three days ago, when you and Ulrich went out to your dinner date with your parents, Aelita and I went to study in her room," he said. Yumi nodded to him that she understood so far.

" We were talking about her break up with Jeremie, and I told her about my past relationships, one thing led to another, then we kissed," he said as his last words were a whisper. Yumi heard the last part.

" You kissed," she said as if it was unbelieveable. He nodded telling her it was the truth. "But there is more to it," Odd added looking down not wanting to face his friends reactions.

"What happened," Yumi responded anxious to know about everything. It took Odd a while to find the right words. "She said that she loves me," he finally let it out.

"And what did you say," Yumi asked wanting him to continue. Odd was uncomfortable talking about but it was best to let it out.

"I told her I didn't love her," he muttered trying to keep pain from his voice. Yumi looked suspicious knowing there was more to what he was implying.

"Is that really the truth, is that how you really feel," she said as if she was his shrink. Odd just shook his head as his only response to her questions.

"You lied to her, how could you lie to her," Yumi yelled, angry at Odd for lying to one her best friends who was like a sister to her. Ulrich grabbed her shoulder to sit her back down to avoid the attention from other students.

"I'm sorry," was Odd's only answer. He had nothing else to say but for Yumi sorry wasn't good enough for her. "Don't say it to me Odd, say that Aelita, she's been depressed, you really hurt her," Yumi spat out.

"I know, I'm not proud of myself," he said sinking downin his seat. Odd felt low, everything that is happening to Aelita is his fault.

"You should tell her the truth Odd, if you do love her, then tell her, she's hurt," Ulrich said finally getting involved with the conversation.

Odd nodded as he knows Ulrich is right he has to set things straight. He got up and let the cafeteria to find Aelita. If she's hurt then maybe he could relieve her pain.

Ulrich and Yumi

After classes Yumi and Ulrich went outside for fresh air. Their relationship couldn't be any better. They confessed their love towards one another and they couldn't be any happier.

"Do you think Aelita will be okay, I never seen her so depressed, I haven't had a full conversation with her," Yumi said looking at Ulrich. She's worried about Aelita, she knows that she's not well.

"Whatever pain she's in, I'm sure Odd can help, I just hope he does the right thing," Ulrich replied wrapping his arm around Yumi's waist.

"Even if they do love one another, how can they have a relationship, the whole school thinks their cousins which we know is a lie, it doesn't seem fair," Yumi responded pointing out the truth, how can they have a relationship.

"Well if love each other as they say they do, they can wait until they finish school or they can secretly date which I think might be a risk," he answered.

Yumi sighed. " Knowing Odd I don't think he can wait until he's finished with school, and how Aelita has been acting I don't think she can wait that long either," Yumi replied.

Ulrich saw that this conversation was making her day worse, so he decided to change the subject. "So, what do you want to do today," he stated puller her closer to himself.

She thought for a few seconds. "We can go to my house, classes are over," she responded to his question. Ulrich looked a bit nervous when she said that.

"Are you sure that's a good idea, you know how your dad feels about me, I'm probrably on his hit list," he said hoping she would change her mind.

Yumi laughed at his comment, she knows her dad doesn't like Ulrich but he would never go to that extreme."Don't worry my dad is working overtime, he won't be home until morning," she replied reassuring him that its okay.

"Is your mom okay with it," he said. Yumi smiled at him. "She will be okay with it, she likes you, she's not like my father, she won't mind," she answered. She gave him a short kiss on the lips to calm his nerves.

Ulrich blushed as he always did. Yumi noticed Williams coming near by, Ulrich spotted him as well."Come on let's go before he sees us," she said. Ulrich nodded as they walked fast towards the Kadic gates to leave for her parents house.

Aelita walked through the woods with a million things running through her mind, why is she here, why is she living? Constant memories is going through her mind as she made it to the sewer hatch and removed it and proceeded to climb down the ladder.

Flashback

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jeremie had led his friends to the factory, he thought it was about time he let his friends in on his secret. The elevator came down and reached it destination. The doors opened as Yumi,Odd, and Ulrich looked around in shock and amazement at the super computer and above it was some kind of holographic image of some kind.

The gang approached Jeremie as they had questions to ask him and wanted answers. "Jeremie, what is this place, Ulrich said breaking the uncomfortable silence .

Jeremie turned towards the his friends. "This room houses the Super Computer which standing here right before you, inside the it is a virtual world known as "Lyoko", Jeremie explained but continued "there are 4 sectors in Lyoko, there's a desert, ice, mountain, and forest region," Jeremie finished.

The group were speechless they think this virtual world he explained was too unbelieveable. "Jeremie, I know were friends but this so like a bit, i don't know--- insane," Ulrich said looking at the others for support. Everyone nodded thinking that Jeremie has lost it.

"I know it sounds crazy, but I would never lie to you, Jeremie said then added" guys there's someone that I want you to meet," he looks back at the monitor"Aelita are you there," he called out.

Just as Jeremie called out, a pink-haired elf like girl pops up from a window of the monitor. "Hello Jeremie, are these you friends that you were telling me about," Aelita said observing the new faces around her.

"Yes they are Aelita, this is Yumi,Ulrich and Odd,"Jeremie replied pointing to each one of his friends as he introduced them to the A.I.

Aelita observed all of them, when she looked at Odd, she thought he looked a bit strange, all dressed in purple, even his hair had a purple blotch in it, but Aelita found him interesting, for some reason she knew that she could trust him and his friends.

End Of Flashback

Odd Pov

I make it to Aelita's dorm room, I knock on her door but there's no answer, as luck is on my side the door is unlocked and I decide to enter. I noticed that Aelita wasn't in her room, I look around I notice that there's a note on her bed. As curiousity always gets the best of me I read it.

Dear Odd,

I'm sorry if I've been avoiding you for the past few days, I just wasn't feeling like myself. What it was you wanted to talk about I don't want to hear it, I know how you feel about me. You made it perfectly clear to me, and for that I understand, whatever you do don't bother finding me, I'm not worth worrying over, as I finally realize that I'm not human, I'm just a computer program, I have no reason for living, I love you Odd and I always will even if you don't feel the same way about me. Life is not worth living if there is no one to love you. This is good bye, say good bye to everyone for me, I hope you find true love. Where I'm going you can't follow.

Aelita

End of Pov

Odd couldn't believe what he was reading in front of him, she's leaving, she has nothing to live for, how can she say that. Then it hit Odd this was his fault, she's leaving because of him. Then he read the last words of the note, he realized what it meant.

'She's going to kill herself ,' Odd thought to himself. Without even another thought he ran out of her room to find her hoping he won't be too late.

After a scanning the woods for her, he found no trace of her. He dug into his pants pocket for his mobile, but then remembered he forgot it. He thought about getting the rest of the gang, but he had no time. Then a thought hit him, if she's not in her room, not in the woods, there's only one place left she would go,'the factory.'

Odd ran to the sewer enterance, took off the hatch, and climbed down the sewer, he had to hurry as every second counts, for all he knows she could already be dead, but he hopes that's not the case. If she dies he would never forgive his himself for lying to her as well as for her death. (Yes so much drama, but what's a romance fic without drama!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

FlashBack

"Odd, get Aelita to the tower, Yumi and Ulrich are fighting off a group of hornets, there life points are almost depleted, you have to hurry," Jeremie yelled through the headset. "Going as fast as I can," was all Odd said. He told Aelita to hide behind a boulder as he saw a block coming their way. It fired at him as Odd dodged it as he ran towards it to get an accurate shot at it. He fires a laser arrow, he hit it right on target as luck was on his side.

As the fight was going on a mega tank sneaks up on Aelita who was hiding behind a large boulder. "Odd, Aelita yelled to get Odd's attention as which it did.It opened up, and shot a laser straight at her. As it got close to her, Odd pushed her out of the way as he took the hit for Aelita. He lost fifty life points because of it, but shot a laser arrow at it a just barely hit its target as it blew into virtual particles.

Odd ran to Aelita as she was sitting up still recovering from being hit to the ground. "You okay Princess, he asked as he bended down on one knee next to her. She gave him a reassuring smile. "I'm fine thanks to you," she responded. Then suddenly Odd's mind stopped working, as his body started thinking for him, his face was inching closer, Aelita took notice of this, she didn't understand what he was doing but for some reason she was doing the same. Their lips just less than an inch away from making contact--

"Odd what are you doing, hurry up and get Aelita to the tower," Jeremie yelled interupting their almost kiss.(Oh how much I love to kill Jeremie!)

"Sorry Einstein, were almost there," Odd replied as he and Aelita got up and hurried to deactivate the tower.

End of Flashback

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Running as fast as his legs will allow him, he made to the elevator. He pushed the pushed the button to close the door as the elevator made its way down to the super computer.

As the doors opened, he walked in looking for Aelita, just as he makes his way to the supercomputer, he sees her on the other side of it, lay on her side.

"Aelita," he yells as he runs to her side. He presses two ofhisfingers on her jugular, but found no pulse. He started to panic, as he turned around and found the answer, she switched off the power of the super computer shutting it down completely, as well as Aelita since she's still linked to Lyoko.

Odd got up and switched it back on praying that it will revive Aelita. Nothing happened. Just as Odd was about to break down in tears, he noticed her eyes flutter open. He sat down on his knees and held her hand.

"Odd what are you doing here, she said as she at up to face him. She noticed his tears, now she felt guilty.

"I'm stopping you from making the biggest mistakeof your life," he muttered as he rubbed her cheek. She turned away not wanting comfort.

"Why do you care Odd, I have nothing to live for, I have no one in my life, so why save me?" she replied as tears poured down her cheeks.

"You have alot to live for Aelita and you have people in your life," he explained as he continued" you have Yumi, Ulrich, Jeremie, and most importantly-- me," Odd said as his voice went into a whisper.

Aelita looked at Odd confused, first he said he didn't love her, now it sounds as if he does. "What do you mean, What are you trying to say," she said waiting for his answer.

Odd looked at her while holding her hand. "When I said that I didn't love you, that we can never have a relationship, that I felt nothing during our kiss," he said . "I lied Aelita, I do love you, and I did feel something from the kisses we shared, it was a great feeling.

Aelita was shocked that he lied, Odd never lied to her before, but by looking at his face she could tell he was telling the truth. "Why did you lie," she responded.

Odd sighed. "I guess the main reason is because of our situation, it would be hard to have a relationship when people around you think we are related,but I'm willing to take that risk, what I'm trying to say is I want to be with you, but it's your choice," he said desperately hoping she will say yes.

Aelita thought about it, this is what she wanted, but there is a risk that someone will find out that there not related, but Odd was willing to take a risk for her which shows her how much he really loves her. She smiled at him as she now knows her answer.

"Yes, I want to be with you, I love you," she said as she hugged him. Odd hugged her in return. "I love you too," he replied back as he whispered into her ear. Odd pressed his lips on hers as she did the same, it was a short but sweet kiss.

After a short make out session. Odd helped her up from the floor and made their way to the elevator as they went back to their dorms.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three days later, Odd and Aelita started their secret relationship with no regrets. Classes were over, as Odd, Aelita,Ulrich and Yumi were in Odd and Ulrich's room discussing the dance.

"What time do you want to get you Yumi, Ulrich said as he wrapped his arm around her slim waist. "Well the dance starts at 7:30, come get me around seven and don't forget," she said before she gave him a light kiss on his lips.

"Are you two going, Ulrich said looking at Odd and Aelita. Odd answered for him and Aelita. "We decided not to go, people think were cousins and besides I don't think I can keep my hands to myself," Odd responded pointing out the obvious.

Ulrich and Yumi felt bad for the two of them, they want to go together, but they wouldn't be able to be intimate with one another, or share kisses.

A few hours passed as Urich left to get Yumi from her house. Odd was in his room, laying down looking at the ceiling. Not being able to go to the dance, if he couldn't go with Aelita then he won't go at all.

Just as he was about to take a nap he hears a knock on his door. He gets up and answers the door. Right in front of him as none other than Aelita. "Can I come in, she asked giving him a bright smile.

He opened the door all the way as a sign for her to enter. He closed the door. Aelita sat down on his bed as Odd sat next to her.

"So what brings you here Princess, he said before he kissed her on the cheek. She rested her head on his shoulder.

"Well since we can't go to the dance together, I thought we could spend time alone," she explained. Odd grinned at that answer as he got up and locked his door so no one would walk in on them

He sat back down and wrapped his arm around her bringing her closer to him. "Sounds good to me," was his only answer. He kissed her slightly on the lips, Aelita placed both her hands on the side of his head and bringing him closer to deepen the kiss. Odd was surprised at her aggressiveness, but at the same time liked it.

After along make out session, Odd layed on his bed with Aelita layed close to him with her arm around his body and her head on his chest as Aelita fell asleep. Odd just watched her as he rubbed her back.

Odd has head many girls, but after dating every girl in his grade, he never thought that Aelita would be the one, and he couldn't be any happier, he knows it's a big risk, but when you're in love, it's a risk worth taking.

Not as long as my last chapter but nonetheless, it turned out fine, but Ill let you readers be the judge of that, as usual flames are accepted, don't forget to review cause your opinions count!
